I questioned the policy of paying people differently based on their location (more specifically, some algorithm's idea of the rent in their area) rather than the work they do
Interesting, there was a moment maybe a year and a half ago where I wanted to work for Gitlab, but upon learning precisely this I changed my mind. Not necessarily just that pay was location based, but reading through the Global Compensation page just felt very...I dunno, cold and dispassionate?
There's probably a better way to phrase the sensation, because I'm certain this wasn't their intent, but the right descriptor eludes me presently.
